Tea for Two

Girls are never too old for a tea party. Aspen and I just finished having a little girl time outside. We brought out a blanket and her princess tea set. Cinderella was our special guest. We had delicious sugar cookies and started with coke, but we both agreed that water was a better choice. I took at least fifty pictures outside...she just looked so cute and happy I couldn't help it.

We really had a great time today. We did all kinds of girlie things. I put make-up on her and we painted each other's nails. I got a pedicure yesterday and she is obsessed with my green toenails. She says pink is her favorite color now, but I know she still has a secret love for green ;)

I didn't think the day was going to turn out this nice. We didn't get a good start this morning. I had to take her with me to drop the boys off at camp...she was surprising already awake anyways. I have done a horrible job with getting my butt to the gym lately...there are just so many things that I would rather do and I just can't find the motivation. BUT I really wanted to go this morning. But Aspen was not going to let that happen. She through a fit in the gym about going into the kids club. I spent fifteen minutes trying to beg and bribe her with no success. I finally just gave up and we left.

I DID get a small work out in at home. I did NOT play dolls with her today though. That was the deal we made at LaRue's (or the stance I was taking), since she didn't let me to go the gym I wasn't going to play dolls today. I probably shouldn't have done all the other fun stuff either, but I had looked forward to it too and didn't want to punish myself. I hate it at the end of the day when I start to analyze the poor choices I made. Like I wonder if I would have been a little more smooth and less irritable maybe I could have conned her into going in the kid's club? I was just so pissed at that moment that "I" wasn't getting "MY" way. Either way, this experience reminds me how much "fun" preschool drop-off is going to be the first few months :(
